Yo, what's up fellow PCMR.

I'd greatly appreciate people's response on this.

I am currently with a gaming system but it's not top notch but gets the job done with every game that comes out these days.

Current specifications:

INTERNAL

MBU: ASUS P8Z77-V LX
CPU: i5 3570K (Quad Core)
CU: Coolmaster Hyper Evo 212
GPU: GTX 660Ti (Jetstream)
RAM: 8GB Corsair Vengence
PSU: 800W Corsair (I think)
CSU: NZXT Phantom 410
Internal Fans: 5 Corsair Blue LED

EXTERIOR

MON: 2 x Curved LED Samsung Monitor 24"
MOU: 1 x MAD CATZ RAT 7
KEY: 1 x Roccat Ryos Pro
HED: Turtle Beach Ear Force P11

ADDITIONAL NOTES

My next build I am wanting to double / triple specifications, so in regards to budget, I'm pushing around £3,000 (Maximum)

I'm a big fan of water cooling, so don't be shy to put a 240mm radiator at the top of the case with a hydrid water cooling in there.

Looking forwards to the specifications boys!

Peace out.

£3000 gives us a lot to work with.

I assume you are wanting GPU SLI and are you comfortable building the PC yourself?

Swap the 660Ti out for an RX 480 and you'll be golden.

This is a respin of Shiv's recommended build to you.

Everything in my list is an exact to Shiv's except the the video card's are from Asus and not MSI, And that the case is a NZXT S340 which does NOT have support for an optical drive.

Both are terrible suggestions. $125 for 16GB RAM is too much, also 4x4GB is stupid. SLI GTX 1080s is absolutely ridiculous, especially considering OP most likely has two 1080p monitors. 1000W PSU is ridiculously unnecessary. S340 does not belong in a $3k system lol. $125 for a 1TB HDD? seriously? Ridiculously over-priced motherboards. They're also both the wrong currency anyway, so they're totally useless.

I mean, it's the right currency so that's better but OP hasn't given us enough information for us to give him a £3000 parts list.

OP- As I said, buy an RX 480 and you'll be golden. Zero need to spend £3k, add a 480 to your current system and you'll easily be able to max out games at 1080p. If you really want to spend 3 grand, you should get a whole new nice set-up, but we'd definitely need more information to be able to help you spend 3 grand.

I'm really not fond of AMD, I'm not sure why but it doesn't attract me at all.
